Report
by Sonny Rock |
| Here
is the exact statement as released by Club Website Guru Jim
McAllister:
"Director
of Football Davie McParland has left Dumbarton F.C. After discussions
with the board, it was decided the club could not sustain a Director
of Football as this time. It is felt there will be a number of players
available during the summer who will have experience at a higher
level who will meet the
criteria in the short term. The youth development policy
has not been scrapped and will be under the domain of the team manager.
The following players have been released :-
Jon Connolly, Jamie McKay, John Ritchie and Jamie Bruce.
Although Jamie has been around the cklub in recent weeks, he has
not altered his
decision to concentrate on his work commitments.
Jim McAllister"
Perhaps the fact that Big Tam and
Davie McParland wouldn't talk to each other never mind work together
had some bearing on the decision - with Tam winning promotion the club
obviously felt he couldn't go so McParland had to.
In more promising news Sons are
trying to sign Ayr forwarrd (and former loan star) John Bradford as a
replacement for Paddy Flannery. Although if they actually
offered Paddy a contract there might be a chance he would stay.
